one day everything changed

⒈

I woke up with a headache on a Saturday morning, "ow.. what the hell?" I said massaging my temples I always have a headache twice a week but it won't stop even when I take pills. I stood up beside my bed and wore my shooky slippers, I bought this slippers from a cute shop last week when I was shopping for clothes but suddenly I got attracted to a cute cookie character so I bought it.

I went downstairs and made a caffe latte heart since I wanted to build my own cafe but after many tries to get it perfect I managed to make a heart, I think? but hey, practice makes perfect but as an impatient person I am, I just scoffed at that stupid quote cause im hopeless and a failure.

ever since when I was a pre-teen, I was that one happy kid who always get liked by anyone even to people that i barely know but little did they know... my lifestyle is different from the outside world

I always get compared by my cousins who are successful, to be honest, I was an average student.I joined some school's contests just to impress my parents but I always get second place. I was happy being the second place but.

*flashback*

i fidget my fingers and bit my lip when they about to announce the winners.

"third place is ..... seo-hyeon"

everyone claps.

"please let me be first place," i thought as I shut my eyes.

"second place is ..."

"y/n"

*time skip*

(a/n; we're still at the flashback lol)

"mom! dad! I got second place! are you prou-"I said smiling at my achievement.

"second place? are you happy with that achievement?" my mom said with a disgusted look.

I was confused by their words.. I mean I did want to get first place but I was glad that im, not the loser.. its better than being a loser.

"you cousins got first place in every contest they did," my dad said with a broken English.

'but dad.. mom.. its better than being a lo-" and again they cut me off.

"your always proud being second place which is stupid y/n. I can't believe that I skipped work just seeing you being second place AGAIN." my dad said in Japanese which made my heart tremble, every time my dad said it in Japanese.. his accents sound cold and scary.

I just stood there in front of them with my head down..

i always make them disappointed.

no matter what I do.

im just a failure to them.

*flashback ended*

I started to pack my things to my old kanken bag that I've used for 2 years. I grabbed my keys and locked the door on my way out. I checked the time on my phone.

"9:25"

shit im late for work.
